Just so we're clear. You're cool with President Trump having “F” ed a porn star while married to a nude model?

You're cool with that?

Who had just given birth to your daughter. Most moral people would have issues and say this tells us too much about someone's character. But the Trumpster people aren't typically interested in morals or values unless they think they can use them to bash people on the Left.

That was when a small media monopoly had a culture of keeping the personal lives of presidents secret, which bears no relationship to the modern media environment.

Clinton was a known womanizer with even his wife acting as an enforcer by defending his promiscuity on the public stage.
Good thing for him that his sexual behavior never was made a big deal out of.

Bush - really? and Obama - clearly his tastes run along the lines of NBA stars not porn stars.


There's the good stuff.

I think this emphasizes their professions in a way that is irrelevant. Who cares if his wife was a nude model? (Fundamentalists do, I know, but subs only half pretends to be that.) The meat of the story is that he had an affair shortly after the birth of his child, then paid hush money using a shell company to cover it up a month before a presidential election.

Good thing it also didn't come up at all in this most recent election either, impacting his wife, right?

I honestly can't believe he even typed this out...

Most Conservatives lose their crap over morality issues. I just want to know if our board Trump supporter, and Clinton basher, is cool with a President who “F” ed a porn star while married to a woman, who is our First "Lady", that didn't have an issue with taking her clothes off, being photographed, and exchanging money for doing that.

I was like, “Yeah, what about your wife?” He goes, “Oh, don’t worry about her.” Quickly, quickly changed the subject.

The Relief Society secretly are titillated by the president-porn star liaison. The only way they would be upset would be if the porn star was of the same sex. Sad! :confused:

It's de rigueur, Doc. We have an ambassador to the Vatican who was Newt's mistress (now his wife, natch). :razz:

I think EA is on to the crux of the story here. A lot of the defense against the dossier (or just Russian involvement in general) from Trump supporters is that there was nothing in his life that could actually be used as this kind of blackmail fodder, and even if there was Trump wouldn't cave to such pressures. Here we have an excellent example that he does have things in his life that rise to "golden shower" levels and that he is willing to go to great lengths to prevent that sort of information coming on.

It is true that the evangelical hypocrisy is frustrating but I doubt you will ever get any traction with that group by calling them out on it. They had to move the goal posts to get what they wanted (primarily a Supreme Court they like) and they are relatively unashamed about that (shout out to those that stuck with their principles instead).
